Hi Folks

So instead of Social Climbing/Beginners at the uni wall this week, we're heading to Scout Scar for an afternoon of Sport climbing. We'll be leaving from outside University House at 2PM, see you then! There will also be a car leaving later at 5PM.

This will be ideal for those of you who are keen to become more confident at leading outdoors or try pushing your grade. We've two types of tickets for this trip; 'independent pair' tickets for those who feel quite happy sport climbing outside (please give this a read), and 'beginner' tickets for those of you who want more guidance and support; this is not just for complete beginners.

Due to an unreliable forecast, the wet weather alternative we've selected is Kendal Wall. Buying a ticket is a confirmation that you are happy for either Scout Scar or Kendal Wall. That said, we've been lucky with the weather in the past so hopefully, we'll be climbing outside. The forecast is ok but we may get rained on, so pack waterproofs and warm clothing, along with plenty of food and water (and maybe even revision for the dedicated/crazy!). It's also always a good idea to pack a headtorch if you have one.

The climbing at Scout Scar is accessed by a steep, loose, and muddy path, and takes 5/10 minutes to reach the crag, so wear appropriate, sturdy footwear. Walking beneath the crag can also sometimes require care as it's quite a steep slope, and there are no toilet facilities. Please be mindful of these hazards at the base of the crag. Please let a leader or an exec member know if you're struggling at any point in the day. 

Please indicate any accessibility needs on your ticket questionnaire and we will do our best to accommodate.
